drat this drought...

Got some more pieces prepped for the west doorway. Because of the super dry conditions and recent brush fires, I am going to have to get a permit before I can do any outdoor welding. Plenty of other chores to keep me busy till I can get the OK.

"The Brewster County Commissioners Court on Monday, May 9, adopted by unanimous vote welding guidelines for use during the emergency burn ban. Anyone wanting to weld must apply for and receive a permit from his/her County Commissioner. For more information, contact the County Judge's Office, 432-837-2412, or the Emergency Management Department, 432-837-9876. Persons violating this order may be arrested and fined up to $500."

Skunk! I know we have one around here in our little homestead in Clint too. I smell him/her when I open up the door in the morning. I ran across your blog a few weeks back and wanted to let you know how much I enjoy the little glimps each day.
